In short I have several email clients to choose from and they are all in sync WRT email, calendar and contacts. I can even use webmail! ;-)
:-) Well, OK. If it works well for you, good for you. I have 126 folders -- just counted them, for you -- aside from the built-in ones. They contain 15.56 GB of emails. Pre-2004 email is archived separately, in Thunderbird. There's another 6GB there. With that much, I find email clients never sync up properly. I can leave them running for a month and they can't ever get up to date.
So, if I find myself away from not only home, but also notebook computer, tablet and smart phone, then I would use webmail. Other than that I prefer to avoid it, as I find proper email clients tend to work better.
I used to. Now, I mostly find them more trouble than they're worth. I use T'bird at work and it works fairly well, but interacts badly with Groupwise and marks folders as all read all the time. I filed a bug but they can't reproduce it. However, my home archive has 1000× as much stuff, probably 10,000× or more. One of these days I'll upgrade to paid Gmail and migrate the old stuff in from Thunderbird for searching purposes. -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
